A disclosed digital media device operational at user premises to receive media signals from a media source for presentation via endpoint devices such as a television display. The digital media device can include gateway and digital media management functionality and can be referred to as a gateway and digital media device. The device offers application services obtained over a wide area network and a user premises network. The digital media device may form a composite signal from the media signal and application service information, for example, for a composite audio and/or video signal for television type presentation to the user. The digital media device may receive a selection signal based on the presentation, for transmission to the application service provider device or to the media source. The media device also offers a GUI presenting a moveable arrangement of icons for selectively accessing application services.

Method for coating a glass syringe body for a hypodermic pre-filled glass syringe, wherein at least one emulsion and/or one solution containing at least one layer-forming substance is applied to at least one inner surface of the hypodermic pre-filled glass syringe, which defines an axial direction, wherein at least a partial surface of the inner surface in a syringe cone of the pre-filled glass syringe is subsequently exposed to a plasma, wherein a negative pressure source is arranged in relation to the syringe cone in the axial direction opposite the atmospheric-pressure plasma source, wherein a negative pressure of less than atmospheric pressure is provided by means of the negative pressure source.

The invention is directed to a process for the continuous acetylation of wood elements. The process particularly combines a batchwise impregnation step, with a continuous reaction step. In order to realize this, a collection step is built-in, so as to allow batches of impregnated wood elements to be fed into a reactor in a continuous manner. Very high acetylation contents can be obtained, at a level that had not been achievable before in a continuous and non-catalyzed acetylation process.
